The Barking Spider Mystery (Children) Poem by Cj Heck

Hey! Is that a barking spider?
(s n i f f) Yep, that’s surely what it is...
I’d like to know who did that.
Was it Mommy, Daddy or Sis?

I don’t think it was Daddy …
he makes funnies when he passes gas.
He tells us to pull on his finger
and then, he giggles and laughs.

I don’t think it was Mommy …
she was feeding Petie, the cat.
Besides, she always gets angry
when me, Dad and Sissy do that.

I guess that leaves me and Sissy...
and blaming ME wouldn’t be fair,
cause when I walked in the room,
the barking spider was already there.

But Sissy couldn’t have done it …
I stood in the room right beside her.
When I passed the chair in the kitchen
is where I sniffed the barking spider.

I’ve solved the stinky-poo mystery!
It was hard, but I found the rat …
I think maybe we should put Petie out.
The barking spider came from the cat.
